Creating a Bridge to Secure Attachment

Weekend Workshop: DARe to ConnectBeaver Creek, CO July 26-27, 2014

Hi Everyone,

We are so looking forward to meeting you for our live event: DARe to Connect, Integrating Attachment into your Practice.In this workshop we will be focusing on case studies and live demonstrations with participants to fully experience the power of bringing your clients back to Secure Attachment.

I have been so impressed with the learning, participation, and interaction of everybody. It has been a gift to witness and be a part of.

Now, more details on the workshop:

This live program will help you integrate all your previous trainings in this field, and enhance your confidence in your ability to apply this model when working with your clients. During this time together we will bring a deeper focus on actual applications of the theories presented during the introductory module of the DARe series, and practice the most effective techniques of how to bring our clients back to Secure Attachment. This will include clinical integrations in working with Attachment and Trauma, actual case studies, and live demonstrations. We will also check in with you before the event, inviting you to share your own case studies so we can really tailor this workshop to whatever issues are most relevant to your practice and well-being.

Coming together will provide an opportunity for you to further develop your Mastery of Attachment and Trauma Resolution skills. There is some transmission that occurs when we study and practice as a community in a live setting, so we encourage you to find a way to attend this training. You want to be there!!!

The amazing and pioneering women’s fashion designer, Eileen Fisher and thefounder of Matrixworks, Mukara Meredith, will both be sharing their unique experience working with Attachment in groups.

Eileen Fisher is the Chief Creative Officer of EILEEN FISHER, INC., the clothing company known for its simple, beautiful designs. For the last thirty years, Eileen has looked at clothing through the lens of confidence and empowerment. As the company has grown to sales of $350 million and 60 stores, it has become a leader in human rights and social responsibility.

Leadership, Workplace + Attachment. Eileen will offer her insights and experience of how nurturing Secure attachment has transformed her personal life and helped her – among other things – to overcome her shyness of speaking in public.

It all started from listening to a DARe 1 DVD, which then motivated her to integrate Diane’s Somatic Attachment principles into her corporate culture. Eileen is extremely transparent about her process and I think you will be very inspired by her story and current efforts to create a 360-degree sustainable culture throughout her organization.

On Saturday evening Mukara Meredith, MSW, Certified Hakomi Trainer and MatrixWorksCreator, will be presenting her group dynamics process: How to Facilitate Secure Attachment in large and small organizations. Mukara’s work is deep and penetrating, and she has worked extensively with a variety of Fortune 500 companies, as well as non-profit and religious organizations in the US, Canada, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico.

Mukara will take us all on an experiential journey to discover a new sense of belonging to ourselves, to each other, and to a larger matrix of safety and connection. Participating directly in the process provides a tangible and embodied foundation for the potential of group genius and a felt sense of how applying the principles of Secure Attachment can positively transform an organization. It will be a very stimulating and heartfelt evening.

To further respond to your feedback, my training team will also be offering these special topics:
